With an average of 38,134 miles at 18 years old, TVR SAGARIS owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.

The 3996cc petrol engine is on the larger side, so fuel won't be this car's strong point. Expect around 30 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,592 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).

Buying a Used 2006 TVR SAGARIS
At 18 years old, the TVR SAGARIS is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins.
